Anyway, Groucho wrote a song about this individual.
That didn't sound right, so I checked, and the song was in fact written by Harold Arlen and E.Y. "Yip" Harburg, the same dynamic duo who wrote Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Too bad Groucho never sang that.
Gosh, when you do a marathon, you don't fool around, do you?
Now I'm right where Lang's told Julia everything, and she's phoning the police!
I was just winging it on Groucho. I'm not exactly under oath here, as Letterman would say. I always enjoy bits of history though.
It's Lydia who sent the tapes, and while most people may look upon VHSs as useless antiques, I think sending a huge boxful of tapes of DS is a very cool thing to do, and thanks very much to Lydia. They were needed very badly.
Interesting bit on Ang and maintaining the curse, that I'll remember.
I'm assuming this thread is all spoilers to anyone who hasn't seen late 1795 or early 1968, and am counting on the thread title to indicate that to people.
Forbes in VWs dream: "To death... the best of all possible worlds!" Nice to know you can still get an ale in the afterlife.
JF is very good at portraying agony. Grayson was awful at conveying fear or as Julia she was told to ham it up, perhaps. My ideal image of Julia Hoffman doesn't have her doing that. She should be collected.
1968:
All I could think is, God, do I need a Dr. Lang. I was right there with Barnabas, when the curtains were being thrown open.... that's my own fantasy, right there-- that some doctor would come along, solve my entire problem while I'm asleep, and suddenly throw open the windows and show me a world of sunlight I can live in without pain and hell from it. My own severe light sensitivity was shouting out that they've got to give Barnabas a safe dark place to get to at a moment's notice, in case anything goes wrong, because that's one of my survival tactics. If I'm out in the light at all, I have to always be aware of a place to duck into the second it gets damaging and unbearable.
Barnabas's sudden openness with Lang was great. Some starved part of you gets fed, and you can recover some innocence very fast, I think.
Roger channelling Joshua--- I hadn't realized LE was doing a "voice" for Joshua really, until Roger started doing it.
I'm going to post this and come back... sometimes there's this "timing out" business I don't understand.
